Orc Allied Race Speculation

This build adds a new Orc Clan mount, furthering the evidence that an Orc Clan Allied Race is coming sooner than later. On Friday we datamined a new Gorgrond map, and previously we datamined an Orc Clan armor set.

Icons

The new icons include Orc Clan - Worg--looks like a racial mount for the Mag'har Orcs allied race!

Models

New Models include Harvest Golems and the Mag'har Direwolf Mount.

Kiro, they're alive! We can't just leave them here...

You will die in these dunes...

Trespassers!

We need ta speed things up. The Horde has arrived in da city. They can't be allowed ta interfere.

Come then, seeI am the true power of the sethrak!

The key is deep within my fortress, Vorrik. Or did you think that I was foolish enough to carry it on my person?

No more talking, Korthek! Hand over the key to Mythrax. Do one last decent thing with your life.old friend. Surrender your key to Mythrax's prison. You would doom us all!

I must inform Vorrik of my concerns, but first I need to safeguard my key. I have a feeling something bad will happen very soon...

Together with Vorrik and Korthek, we sealed the tomb, with the hopes that no one will ever wake the giant buried within. We will not be doomed to repeat the mistakes our neighbors made so long ago.

... I don't know why I believed working with goblins would result in anything other than this.<Sigh> Did I really think working with goblins would turn out any other way?

Intercept the Alliance in the courtyard! Make haste to Nathanos!EVERYBODY, MOBILIZE! CUT THEM OFF WITH THE RESERVES! DO NOT LET THEM PASS! Saurfang, where the hell did you go?

Saurfang, now iso good of your time. You may claim the warrior's death you so sorely desireo finally show up, High Overlord.

We'll need toa travel through theda swamp. As long as we stay in the air and out of sight, we shouldn't have too much trouble.

Kaja, beneath us! What are those things?Kaja, beneath us! What are those things?

Everyone, break rank! Make your way to safety! Get as far away from these snakes as you can!

The city has fallen. Nothing was left in the wake of the epic battle between sSethraliss and my'thix. SethralissMythrax. Our loa gave her life to keep us safe, and we will not let that sacrifice be in vain.

There is talk within the temple. Korthek is eager to attack the trolls. They are a formidable race that will not fall easily. We've lived in peace for so long, why would he now desire to pick a fight he cannot win?

Let' us hope Rokhan and dae others make it back safely to Zul'jan... otherwise thdis will be a realvery short trip.

You do your part General, and I will do mine.

Quickly, scavenge what you can. Leave the bodies for the vultures.

Soldiers of the Horde! Your brothers and sisters lie wounded on the battlefield! There is no honor in this victory if we abandon our own!

Vorrik! You sEnough, Vorrik! I should hamve the sethrak, allying with these scumkilled you and your pathetic followers long ago.

You are right about one thing, though. The time for talking is over!

Impressive, Vorrik."old friend." But it will not be enough to stop me!

Temporary rally speech! Use Control + E to get through the wall, because the door doesn't open!Is the Undercity evacuated?

ThDe blood trolls bare relentless and unending thanks to th, feeding on de power of an oOld gGod.

We seem to be in thde clear now. We will need to be movin'move fast once we land at Zul'jan ruins.

Comentario de Orissan

So the Mag'har now also have a clan in the AU Draenor ? Or the Original Mag'har moved to Draenor because Outland is obviously the worst place to live ? Or is that an error / temp name ?

Could be the mount name is a holdover from when they might have been considering the Outland Mag'har before they decided to roll with the Draenor orcs instead.

Dreanor Orcs still speak Orcish. Mag'har means uncorrupted. Given the events of Hellfire Citidel / Iron Hordes purpose becoming moot it wouldn't be a stretch that the remaining orcs reformed as one large clan given the devastation Azerothian forces wreaked upon them. Hence they reformed as the Mag'har clan.

Mag’har means “pure” in Orcish, doesn’t it? Just because it has the name “Mag’har” doesn’t mean that it’s tied specifically to Outland, because the Draenor Orcs are “Mag’har” compared to our Orcs.

There are multiple comments previous to yours that clearly state Mag'har means uncorrupted, including the one just two comments before yours! But hey, I guess you could argue that pure is just another name for uncorrupted......

I'd like to think the allied race would be the orcs from Outland, and that the Gorgrond map datamined will be edited to be a "updated Outland". I really want to know what's up with Outland nowadays, I want to belive it has recovered a little at least.

There is no recovering from that... If anything it's going to keep on decaying until it can support absolutely no life what so ever. Although that could take a few centuries.

I hope that wolf is a sign that they will update the orc mount worgs. It's nice, other than the giant saddle which seems to be prevalent right now and is rather excessive. I like to see my character riding the mount, not some huge backpiece saddle bouncing along.

It does seem fairly obvious that these new orcs will be an allied race in the future but I am a bit confused as to why people are saying they might be Alliance. Why on Azeroth would the Alliance allow orcs into their federation? And why would Blizz, with all this emphasis on the original Warcraft: Orcs vs. Humans, even contemplate such a move? Can you imagine the massive backlash from the Horde players? It just seems extremely far-fetched.

I wonder what the 4th alliance allied race would be if Horde gets Mag'har Orcs.

Kul'tiran Humans pls?

If the Orcs are from Outland (and they must be, being Mag'har), why not their counterpart in Nagrand, the Kurenai? x)

While I doubt they'd choose the Kurenai over the Krokul, I'd love that!

Nah man, just nah... that saddle is no bueno. Way too big, I think we have enough big saddles with the new BfA pre purchase mounts. No need to add a saddle that big on a wolf. Blizz, I know you have your style.. but sometimes .. you just gotta keep it simple. (WoD wolves were awesome, I suggest going that way)

Riding a wolf in general makes no sense as their skeletal structure doesn't make the saddle placement on the low back optimal. This is why the wargs in the LOTR movies had saddles moved further up towards their upper back and shoulders.

Canines and felines don't make good mounts if you want realism.

The saddle and the head of the wolf are awfully biglike its actually awful, bad blizzard...

Wolf head looks fine from side profile, may just be the perspective from a couple of those shots.
